My Dog has Worms!!

Oh my gosh! I don't even know where to start. Yesterday Dixie (our dog) started gagging (out of no where) last night. I hurried her outside and she was fine. No biggie.
Til tonight! All of a sudden I heard some weird noises and she was gagging again. Unfortunatly, I did not get her out the door fast enough. SO here I am cleaning up this mess and SOMETHING MOVES!! I was ok until I saw that! Nate had to take over for a minute to get rid of it. It was a long skinny worm wiggling around. It just freaked me out. Ii think that was the Grossest thing I have ever seen. Just wanted share that with you all!! Happy Day.

Letter F

Letter F

We glued Froot Loops onto Letter F

This was a Fun activity.

Teigan found all the F's and circled them.

Then I had him find the Four words that started with F and circle them.

The F Song

"Five Little Speckled Frogs"

Five little speckled Frogs,

Sitting on a speckled log

Eating the most delicious flies.

One jumped into the pool,

Where it was nice and cool.

Now there are Four speckled frogs.

Repeat (until you have No speckled frogs.)

Letter E

Letter EThis week (meaning last week) we talked about Eyes, Ears, and Elephants.

We also went to some very Exciting Events. Sugar's, Girls State Basketball Games. Which they Won State!) The Boys District Basketball Games. (which they are going to State!) We also got to see Tiara perform and Cheer at all the games and we also saw Corbin play his basketball game. What a fun week we had.

Letter E Song

Do your Ears hang low?

Do they wobble to and fro

Can you tie them in a knot

Cab you tie them in a bow

Can you throw them over your shoulder

like a continental soldier

Do your Ears hang low?

Letter C & D

Wow! Where do my days go? I just can't keep up.

Letter C

We colored our letter and painted with Celery and Carrot

We also made Cookies and Cinnamon Cake

We talked about Caterpillars and made one. We also read the book : "A Very Hungry Caterpillar".

Letter C has two sounds. Soft C: celery and cinnamon and Hard C: carrot, cookies, and cake.

Here is a song for letter C "My Daddy Drives a Rusty Car"


Twinkle Twinkle chocolate bar
My Daddy drives a rusty car
Push the starter and pull the choke
And off we go in a cloud of smoke
Twinkle Twinkle chocolate bar
My daddy drives a rusty car


Each line has a C word. So I printed it and had Teigan circle the C word in each line.

Letter D

We punched out dots and glued them on to our letter D

Letter D Song

Doc Doggy's Dinosaur and Duck
They love to play all day
For words that start with D
The people run to see!
Words like Doc Doggy's Dinosaur and Duck
D D D D D D D

HeartMobile

Snowmobiling on Valentine's Day. Nate took me and the kids up to Cascade to snowmobile for the day. It was so much fun. First thing Teigan said when he was woke up was "Mom is it morning? Is the sun up? Can we go snowmobiling?" I think he was more excited than I was. Once we got there and Nate rode the sleds out of the trailer, all Skylee could say was "Daddy's Bike, Daddy's Bike". I was worrried about the kids freezing but it was such a beautiful day. We had borrowed the trailer and one of the snomobiles from one of our friends. Thanks to them, we all got to go and not freeze. It was so Great to spend the whole day with my cute little family. We even went out to dinner with kids. It couldn't have been a better Valentine's Day. Thanks Honey.

Potty, Pullups, and Panties

SKylee has been doing so good, going in her little potty. So we decided to get her some pullups and some underware. Funny story about the underware. She had found Teigan's padded training underware and his plastic covers and she wanted them on. So picture this. Skylee in size 3T (Big and Saggin) blue boy underware with not only one but two of the plastic covers on top of the underware. It was pretty funny!
Anyways today I put the pullups on her and she was so Excited! She was running around in cirlces pointing at her ner "Big Girl Underware"

I was so excited that they were Pink! and not Blue!

Valentines Party

Teigan had his Valentines Party today at Preschool. He was so excited to show me all of his Valentines he had gotten from his friends. Here he is already munchin on the candy!

My Deep Cleaning King

I don't know what got into my Husband last night, but I sure do love him. I was cleaning up dinner and trying to get the kids ready for bed, when I found Nate in the laundry room with EVERYTHING pulled out of the closet. He told me to shut the door and "Let me do my Thing". He was sick of my messy, no room, laundry room. See, usually have a shoe rack and a drying rack for the clothes on the other wall, so that gave us little room to walk from the garge into the house. Anyways, so after I put the kids to bed, I peeked in, And . . . he had the washer and dryer pulled all the way out and he was cleaning the walls and the floors and pretty much anything he could scrub. All I got to say is I LOVE MY HUSBAND! He definetly is my Deep Cleaning King! :)

I Wheel-ee Like You!

Teigan and I made these Cute Truck Valentines . . . for his Valentine's Party at Preschool. Putting on the wheels was his favorite. He had many different ideas on how he wanted to put them on. He even tried making a Boat on a Trailer!
These were the two that worked Best.

Race Car

Monster Truck. Teigan's favorite.

Diaper Dilemma

Ok I hate to admit this, but Yes my four year old is still wearing diapers to bed. I know! And he has been potty trained for 2 years! Ever since he was 2 he has been wearing underware. But at bedtime it's a anaother story. He can not control his bladder! I don't know what I can do to help him. We've tried underware, we've tried those plastic covers, we've tried No drinking after dinner. I don't know. Alot of the people I have talked to say that Boys are harder and that he will get control of his bladder but it will jsut take time. We'll its been two whole years! And I am sick of sogey diapers in the morning! I don't know what to do. Any advice?

Memory Boxes

These are my Favorite! I just had to share.

These took me alot longer than the Recipe ones below, but definelty worth it!

Inside it has Month dividers and blank 4x6 cards.

I made one for each of my kids. Basically it keeps their memories recorded for that whole year. So I put the date, a title, and their name on the top and I write whatever so they can have record of that year.SOme things to write about are: Milestones, Special Occasions, An Event, Sickness, Just Journaling. These are the things that I write on the bottom of the card. (just to keep things organized and easy to find)

I Love these Cute Little Boxes. I have mine right by my bed so I can remember to reflect on the day and write down anything interesting. I also have put little notes or invitations or trinkets they have recieved or made in their box.

Teigan loves his little box. He knows that its his special box and we put special things in it. :)

Recipe Boxes

I turned one of those little black empty boxes into this:I needed to organize and do something with my recipes, so this is what I did.
I painted the outside and modgepod my paper on.
I used my CRICUT (which I LOVE!) to cut out Recipes for the lid.

And I used the plastic dividers and sticky tabs to separate the different recipes. I love it! Thought you might love it too!

Letter B

This week: Letter B

We made a Bee out of a paper plate. Teigan really enjoyed that. He got to paint the paper plate yellow and he painted the stripes "Black" a B word. He also glued the eyes and drew the mouth. And then we traced his feet on Wax paper for the Wings. It turned out pretty cute.

I also taught him the "Baby Bumblebee" song. Skylee liked this part more than Teigan did. but by the end Teigan was singing it with me and Skylee was saying a few words too, but mostly just doing the actions.

I have found it really hard to keep this fun and entertaining for Teigan. I literally have to drag him away, from whatever he is doing, to come spend time with me. I'm not going to let this stop us, but it is challenging some days. Onward we go. If you do have any ideas on how to keep things fun and exciting, please let me know.
